Abstract
In the present study the resistance of beams treated by
ThermoWood[...] process was studied in ground contact and
the results given are based on a "modified" EN 252 test.
After six years' exposure clear differences were found
between untreated Scots pine and Norway spruce beams and
treated ones. In all cases thermal modification improved
the performance. Thermally modified pine heartwood showed
the best performance, where only partial decay was found
in the outer part of glue-laminated beams s. Decay was
more accelerated in Scots pine sapwood, and especially
within untreated pine sapwood posts, severe decay was
found.
